We are truly living in the dumbest of times.
August 18th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
I'm mind fucked, every day. It just keeps getting worse. Pretty scary where we could end up here.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
Those right wing Catholics!
August 18th, 2020 at 8:32 PM ^
Could be Militant Methodists.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
Yeah people protesting for what they believe in is so dumb.......amazing
August 18th, 2020 at 4:50 PM ^
If “football should be played despite a pandemic” is such a core belief to anyone that it rises to the level of “protest-worthy,” then that person needs to get their priorities checked and I weep for their kids being raised by such an emotionally immature idiot.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:04 PM ^
You would feel very differently if football was your or your kid's avenue to making millions of dollars.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:12 PM ^
No I wouldn’t. Fuck off.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:37 PM ^
Easy bro. This isn’t a soccer thread!
August 18th, 2020 at 7:26 PM ^
Rob f has warned us about that. Watch your language.
August 18th, 2020 at 7:46 PM ^
No, he wouldn’t because his gene pool is so far away that he can say to fuck off.
August 18th, 2020 at 10:26 PM ^
No way you have kids man. Seems like the people who fetishize the "safety" of children to the point of absurdity don't actually have them. Governor Dewine just announced Ohio is having high school football! Decision was based on.....wait for it...the medical experts! So we can watch high school football, the Browns and Bengals but not the Buckeyes or my beloved Rockets. What a joke. Keep supporting the institution though, I'm sure all they care about is the children. "But what about the children?"

He’s getting a free education to a very good public university, and you don’t have to exactly be a genius to make millions in this country. Colleges aren’t minor leagues for the NFL.
If he feels that strongly about it, drop out and get all the players together that want to have a season and form teams and get a league going. You don’t need stadiums full of fans. Universities are holding up their end of the bargain - they’re not pulling scholarships. You still get your degrees.
August 18th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
I could relate if I were taking their pay cut.
Bag men pay by the hour. . .
I posted several times that O$U would have the most to lose with this. Hence the blowback.
August 18th, 2020 at 7:28 PM ^
Okay and you constantly bitched about BLM protestors. I’ve called you out on this twice, both times you didn’t respond. In light of what you just said, are you going to change your stance? Or keep being a hypocrite?
August 18th, 2020 at 8:07 PM ^
Woke
August 18th, 2020 at 4:37 PM ^
Pretty sure Sean Wade's dad's name is Karen.
August 18th, 2020 at 3:40 PM ^
The guy holding the sign looks ok...
August 18th, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
He's probably not wearing pants
August 18th, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
Sure he is. Everyone knows it's no longer socially acceptable for a Buckeye to display his ball lifter.
August 18th, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
Illusions, Michael.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
+ 1 million. I am laughing my ass off at this!
August 18th, 2020 at 8:10 PM ^
Hope they brought enough coolers for the protest....
August 18th, 2020 at 9:41 PM ^
I know it isn't but the guy in front holding the sign looks like Will Arnett.
August 18th, 2020 at 10:02 PM ^
it is will arnett, it's from arrested development
August 18th, 2020 at 2:21 PM ^
Why would they waste their time?
And hope they’re wearing masks.
August 18th, 2020 at 2:22 PM ^
It's all they have. That's not an exaggeration and they will admit that.
August 18th, 2020 at 2:42 PM ^
It's really not an exaggeration. I have a very close friend who's a HUGE OSU fan and has gone to all home & away OSU football games for years (except Michigan - he's convinced he'll be treated in AA the way he sees M fans get treated in Columbus) and he has no clue what to do with his weekends this fall.
He's completely lost.
August 18th, 2020 at 3:36 PM ^
I highly doubt he will get sucker punched, or have his car keyed, or get a speeding ticket going one mph over at the border, if he came to AA.... because all three will happen to many, going to Columbus
August 18th, 2020 at 4:50 PM ^
Yep, been there for the Game 3 times (2004, 2006, 2008). Been sucker punched, had lit cigarettes thrown at us (in front of cops, who did nothing of course), and had our car peed on by a 45 year old man. Great times...
And you're correct that those things are far less likely to happen in AA.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:43 PM ^
Does your car look like a cooler?
August 19th, 2020 at 9:20 AM ^
Don’t leave out being pelted with half empty cans of PBR and Strohs. Good times in 06!
August 18th, 2020 at 2:23 PM ^
Well at least they are not wasting THEIR money. Probably fully funded by O$U
August 18th, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
plus, most people don't even go into the office anymore; especially here in chicago. they will likely be screaming at a near empty building.
August 18th, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Technically if he's flying into Chicago he'd need to quarantine for 14 days because he's coming from a state (FL) designated as a hotspot for COVID-19. So he'd need to wait 2 weeks before he could stand in front of an office complex and yell loudly about his kid not being able to play football. I'll admit I don't know Illinois geography enough to determine if this airport is within the city limits but my guess is the airports follow similar rules if not within the confines.
Again, in no way do I think he's thought that deeply about it, but figured it was worth pointing out.
August 18th, 2020 at 2:32 PM ^
lulz
This is an incredible point!
August 18th, 2020 at 2:34 PM ^
The big ten HQ is in Rosemont, right next to the airport and right outside Chicago.
August 18th, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
Dude'll probably fly into Midway though.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:36 PM ^
Midway is also in city limits.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
O'Hare is actually still city of Chicago (one of the 77 community areas!). But practically speaking, if he stays in Rosemont he's fine. I don't know if the city has actually fined anyone yet anyway.
It'd be hilarious however if our Michigan-alum mayor had people monitoring them and slapped them with fines if they go somewhere in the city besides just flying in/out of O'Hare...
August 18th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
I've been told (and I don't know if it's true) that you are not technically in Chicago until you leave the airport. So these folks could hop in a cab/uber right to Rosemont without entering Chicago. Could be wrong here.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
Not enforcing regulations in 99% of cases but instead enforcing them in select cases would be "hilarious"?
I'm sorry, but I cannot be in favor of that. That's effectively weaponizing regulations.
August 18th, 2020 at 4:54 PM ^
Pretty sure his comment was mostly in jest. We know you are all for this protest happening, while most of us think it's ridiculous.
So yes, it's fun to think about these fools having a hard time going forward with their "plan" to save the season.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:24 PM ^
You're "pretty sure" it was in jest. Maybe so, though one can go on the record directly.
Advocating for the selective enforcement of rules, such that ones "enemies" are harmed the most is not something I support. Do you and/or others support it?
August 18th, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
What do you care? Weren't you "done with this blog?"
August 18th, 2020 at 11:38 PM ^
Uh no I don’t support that. But again, it was a joke. I would support actual enforcement of the rules, because people like you can’t seem to do what is needed to help us get through this pandemic.
Like ijohnb, you need to take a break from the blog dude. If you’re getting worked up over comment like the one above, you’re clearly in a bad place. Log off for a bit and focus on something else.
August 18th, 2020 at 5:47 PM ^
Well she can’t seem to monitor much else so maybe she will do better with osu nutsoes.
August 19th, 2020 at 12:57 AM ^
It makes total sense that she is a Michigan alum!
